The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the instructions given in the video transcript and derive the necessary values for \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \). ### Step 1: Substitute the point into the first equation The first curve is given by: \[ y = x^3 + ax \] We know that it passes through the point \((-1, 0)\). Substituting \( x = -1 \) and \( y = 0 \): \[ 0 = (-1)^3 + a(-1) \] This simplifies to: \[ 0 = -1 - a \] Rearranging gives: \[ a = -1 \] ### Step 2: Substitute the point into the second equation The second curve is given by: \[ y = bx^2 + c \] Again, substituting \( x = -1 \) and \( y = 0 \): \[ 0 = b(-1)^2 + c \] This simplifies to: \[ 0 = b + c \] Thus, we have: \[ b + c = 0 \quad \text{(1)} \] ### Step 3: Find the derivatives of both equations Next, we need to find the derivatives of both curves to ensure they have a common tangent at the point \((-1, 0)\). For the first curve: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 + a \] Substituting \( a = -1 \) and \( x = -1 \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 3(-1)^2 - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2 \] For the second curve: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 2bx \] Substituting \( x = -1 \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 2b(-1) = -2b \] Setting the derivatives equal for the common tangent: \[ 2 = -2b \] Solving for \( b \): \[ b = -1 \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( b \) back into equation (1) Now we substitute \( b = -1 \) into equation (1): \[ -1 + c = 0 \] This gives: \[ c = 1 \] ### Step 5: Calculate \( a + b + c \) Now we have: - \( a = -1 \) - \( b = -1 \) - \( c = 1 \) Calculating \( a + b + c \): \[ a + b + c = -1 - 1 + 1 = -1 \] ### Final Answer The value of \( a + b + c \) is: \[ \boxed{-1} \] ---
